Printout
from Data Base

Much work has already been done
coping information of sales, repairs and secondary sales onto a Data Base.

Firearms covered by this Data
Base are:-

The Marks Series (I – VI &
WS)

Very little is recorded
pre-1900. Data mostly covers periods of the Great War and inter-war years; it
includes WS Army & Target revolvers and Wilkinson sales. The Wilkinson
Sword Gun Book for 1905-1921 is missing which means that it is not possible
to discover the name of the person to whom Wilkinson Sword sold their
revolvers. Enquiries for military contract service revolvers are not
recommended, as information is very limited.

Kaufmann/WG

The records are particularly
strong for these revolvers. Most sales or subsequent repairs are recorded
including secondary sales by Army & Navy CSL

Fosbery

The records are particularly
strong for these revolvers. Most sales or subsequent repairs are recorded
including secondary sales by Army & Navy CSL

Work is continuing on the
Automatics and Solid Frame types. It should be stressed, not all serial
numbers are recorded. Over the years some factory day books have been lost or
destroyed. The records on the Data Base reflect all surviving details from
the archive

A Printout will typically show
the purchaser’s name or the name on the invoice; date of invoice; type of
invoice i.e. sale or repair; description of repair; details of firearm if
mentioned on the invoice i.e. calibre/barrel length/ finish/ grips (WG only)
and if the revolver was purchased by Army & Navy CSL,
any subsequent sale to end user.

A fee of £20.00 including UK
postage (other countries add £4.00 for postage) is charged for a printout
from the Data Base. You will not be charged if nothing is found.
